I'm really worried about my wife's scan; it was supposed to show a heartbeat at eight weeks, but there was nothing. We've already been through a miscarriage in 2019 and tried IUI and IVF in 2020 without success, along with fibroid removal surgery last December. She got pregnant naturally this time, but now there's no heartbeat. The report says the gestational sac has regular margins and a large yolk sac, but the fetal pole is there with no cardiac activity. It mentions a mean sac measurement around 19.73 and biometry CRL at 7.8 mm, with a single intrauterine nonviable gestation estimated at 6 weeks 5 days, and multiple uterine fibroids. I'm really anxious about whether there's any hope or if this is a miscarriage. Could you help us understand the situation better?

How can I conceive twins naturally?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm two months pregnant and wondering if pills can help stop the pregnancy or if I need surgery. I've been having symptoms like morning sickness, extreme hair fall, tiredness, mood swings, and food tastes bland. I don't feel like eating because it makes me nauseous but I don't actually vomit. Do abortion pills or surgery have side effects? What should I eat if I can't stand food right now?

A gyanec opinion is advised for further treatment.

I'm a bit concerned after my recent ultrasound scans. At 4 weeks and 3 days, the yolk sac was present, but there was no fetal pole. Then, in the second scan at 6 weeks and 4 days, neither the yolk sac nor the fetal pole was visible. Plus, I'm not experiencing any pregnancy symptoms. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Its understandable to be concerned, but its not uncommon for early ultrasounds to show no fetal pole or yolk sac, especially if conception occurred later than expected. However, the absence of a fetal pole at 6 weeks could suggest a possible miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.
